Include indicators and gauges in a gauge panel in paginated report (Report Builder)

Applies to:  Microsoft Report Builder (SSRS)  Power BI Report Builder  Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools

The gauge panel is the top-level container that holds one or more gauges and indicators in a paginated report. Indicators can be embedded in gauges or placed next to them in the gauge panel.

If the indicator and gauge are adjacent in the gauge panel and show data from different fields, you might want to add labels to make it clear what data the gauge and indicator convey.

Gauge and indicator options can be set by using expressions. For more information, see Expressions (Report Builder and SSRS).

Note

You can create and modify paginated report definition (.rdl) files in Microsoft Report Builder, Power BI Report Builder, and in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools.
